1969 Camaro Restomod Project Thread

[will69camaro]

Got the car up in the air and took the front wheels off. Easiest way to change the plugs. Swapped out the TR7IX for some colder (and cheaper) B8EFS, gapped to .020-.022".

​​

Since it was up in the air already, i started chasing down some pesky leaks (power steering a bit, small amount of coolant, and some trans fluid that i cant seem to get to stop!!!)
Ontop of that, I swapped out the BR30 breaking oil (second round) and put in some Shell Rotella T as the "full use" oil. The last round of BR30 was short lived as I had an O2 problem that resulted in a SERIOUS fueling issue and didn't want to risk oil that could have had significant fuel contamination.

While I was doing the oil change, decided now was as good a time as any to put in the oil cooler.


Hoses are done but i'm not in love with the routing so may change them up later on, it's functional but not ideal.


Cooler also is a little low, it's about 1" lower than the front spoioler, but that is shorter than stock and it's still well above the cross member. I think it'll survive just fine in that location.


After completing that I went for a spirited drive with some friends to a local car meet this past Sunday. Didn't get any shots of the Twin Peaks girls by the car, but that will be an opportunity explored at a later time.
